Église Sainte-Marie (Détroit)

L'église Sainte-Marie (familièrement en anglais : Old St. Mary's Church), ou officiellement église de l'Immaculée-Conception de la Bienheureuse Vierge Marie, est une église catholique de la ville de Détroit, dans l'État du Michigan. Troisième plus ancienne église de la ville, elle appartient à l'archidiocèse de Détroit et se trouve dans le quartier grec (Greektown) de Détroit, au centre-ville, 646 Monroe Street. Historique La paroisse est fondée en 1834 par le père Martin Kundig pour subvenir aux besoins spirituels des immigrés catholiques germanophones, installés dans cette partie de la ville. La première église est construite en 1841 dans un terrain vendu pour un dollar par Antoine et Monique Beaubien à l'évêque, Mgr Lefebvre. La seconde église, l'édifice actuel, est construite entre 1884 et 1885 par l'architecte allemand Peter Dederichs, qui en est également paroissien. Au début du XXe siècle, le père Joseph Wuest, curé de la paroisse fait construire trois grottes à l'arrière de l'église. La première rappelle le Baptême du Christ, du côté de l'épître; à côté se trouve une réplique de la grotte de Lourdes, avec un autel pour célébrer la messe; et la troisième figure le jardin de Gethsémani qui fut le lieu de l'Agonie de Jésus. L'école paroissiale ouvre en 1844 avec des instituteurs laïcs, puis la congrégation irlandaise des Frères chrétiens ouvre une section (en anglais) pour les garçons des grandes classes en 1852, tandis que les filles et les petits garçons sont élevés par les Sœurs enseignantes de Notre-Dame, congrégation récemment fondée en Bavière. L'école est reconstruite en 1855 et un nouvel édifice (l'édifice actuel) est construit treize ans plus tard par Pius Daubner. L'école paroissiale a été en activité jusqu'en 1966. L'église, la maison paroissiale et l'ancienne école ont été inscrites au Registre national des lieux historiques en 1979. Architecture L'église de briques est bâtie en style néoroman avec des apports vénitiens. La façade occidentale de l'église est dominée par deux tours et elle est ornée en son milieu par une grande rosace. Un portique à la vénitienne donne accès à l'édifice. La maison paroissiale, qui abrite la cure, est du même style, ainsi que le couvent (aujourd'hui démoli). L'église mesure 54 m de longueur, 24 m de largeur (pour sa nef) et 27 m de hauteur. Dix colonnes de granite séparent les bas-côtés du vaisseau. Spiritualité La paroisse est d'abord desservie par des prêtres diocésains d'origine allemande, puis par des missionnaires rédemptoristes allemands de 1847 à 1872, puis par des franciscains germanophones de 1872 à 1893 et enfin par les spiritains de 1893, jusqu'à aujourd'hui.

Douglas House (Harbor Springs, Michigan)

The James and Jean Douglas House (or just Douglas House) is a residence located at 3490 South Lake Shore Drive on the shore of Lake Michigan in Friendship Township near Harbor Springs, Michigan. History In 1965, renowned architect Richard Meier was commissioned to design the Frederick J. Smith House in Darien, Connecticut. The house was completed in 1967 and featured on the cover of a magazine, where it was seen by James and Jean Douglas of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The Douglases contacted Meier and asked him to create a similar design in northern Michigan. Planning for the house began in 1971; the original location chosen was within an upscale gated community. However, the white color of Meier's design was rejected by the community. Rather than compromise on the color, the Douglases found another lot, nearly unbuildable due to its steep slope. With a new location chosen construction began and was completed in 1973 after a three-year construction period. When Meier furnished the house for his clients, Jim and Jean Douglas, he designed some of the furniture himself and also used designs by Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe. In 2007, the American Institute of Architects listed the Douglas House as one of the top 150 structures on its "America's Favorite Architecture" list. In 2016, the Douglas House was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The house has remained intact, with no additions or modifications to the physical structure, and no changes to room uses or layouts. Description The Douglas House is located on a very steep slope overlooking the lake. It is a four-story, bright white, Modern structure with a flat roof clad with redwood. The overall form of the house is a large rectangle set on end. The rear wall of the house, which faces the lake, makes extensive use of glass to provide maximum views. The house is built of redwood (vertical Tongue and Groove boards) and is almost completely white. The foundation consists of a series of pilings hammered into the earth. The entrance on the upland side of the house is on the top floor, via a bridge. Stairways were located in the corners of the structure so that they would not block views or sunlight. The fourth floor serves as the home's entry from the bridge, and contains a large exterior deck space; another smaller deck space is above the fourth floor. Below, the third floor contains three bedrooms, a full bath and an open, built-in work desk overlooking the second-floor living room. The second floor contains the living room, a wet bar and the master bedroom. The first floor contains the dining room, kitchen, laundry and another bedroom with a full bath. A sub-level beneath the first floor contains HVAC, water/electrical services and storage.

Casa Douglas (Harbor Springs)

La Casa de James y Jean Douglas House (o simplemente Casa Douglas) es una residencia ubicada en 3490 South Lake Shore Drive en la orilla del lago Míchigan en Friendship Township cerca de Harbor Springs, en el estado de Míchigan (Estados Unidos). Historia En 1965, el arquitecto Richard Meier recibió el encargo de diseñar la Casa Frederick J. Smith en Darien. Esta se completó en 1967 y apareció en la portada de una revista, donde fue vista por James y Jean Douglas de Grand Rapids.​ Los Douglas contactaron a Meier y le pidieron que creara un diseño similar en el norte de Míchigan. La planificación de la casa comenzó en 1971; la ubicación original elegida estaba dentro de una comunidad cerrada de lujo. Sin embargo, el color blanco del diseño de Meier fue rechazado por la comunidad. En lugar de comprometerse con el color, los Douglas encontraron otro lote, casi imposible de construir debido a su fuerte pendiente.​ Con una nueva ubicación elegida, comenzó la construcción y se completó en 1973 después de un período de construcción de tres años. Cuando Meier amueblaba la casa para sus clientes, Jim y Jean Douglas, él mismo diseñó algunos de los muebles y también utilizó diseños de Le Corbusier y Mies van der Rohe.​ En 2007, el American Institute of Architects incluyó a la Casa Douglas como una de las 150 mejores estructuras en su lista de America's Favorite Architecture.​ En 2016, la Casa Douglas se agregó al Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos.​ La casa ha permanecido intacta, sin adiciones ni modificaciones a la estructura física, y sin cambios en los usos o diseños de las habitaciones.​ Descripción La Casa Douglas está ubicada en una ladera muy empinada con vista al lago. Es una estructura moderna de cuatro pisos, de color blanco brillante, con un techo plano revestido con madera roja. La forma general de la casa es un gran rectángulo colocado de punta.​ La pared trasera, que da al lago, hace un uso extensivo del vidrio para despejar la vista al máximo. La casa está construida de secoya y es en su mayor parte blanca.​ La cimentación consiste en una serie de pilotes clavados en la tierra. La entrada en el lado de la tierra de la casa está en el último piso, a través de un puente. Las escaleras se ubicaron en las esquinas de la estructura para que no bloquearan las vistas ni la luz diurna.​​ El cuarto piso sirve como entrada a la casa desde el puente y contiene un gran espacio de terraza exterior; otro espacio de cubierta más pequeño está por encima del cuarto piso. A continuación, en el tercer piso hay tres dormitorios, un baño completo y un escritorio de trabajo empotrado abierto con vista a la sala de estar del segundo piso. En el segundo piso están la sala de estar, un bar húmedo y el dormitorio principal. En el primero están el comedor, cocina, lavandería y otro dormitorio con baño completo. Un subnivel debajo del primer piso sirve como punto de servicios de agua/electricidad y de almacenamiento.​ Referencias Enlaces externos Sitio web oficial El perfil de la colección Great Buildings de Douglas House Algunas fotos exteriores e interiores de Douglas House (en español)

Fort Michilimackinac

Fort Michilimackinac var en fransk handelsstation (1715-1761) och ett brittiskt (1761-1763) militärt etablissemang på den södra sidan av Mackinacsundet. Platsen ligger i den nuvarande staden Mackinaw City i delstaten Michigan. Grundande Fortet byggdes som handelsfaktori av fransmännen omkring 1715 och var befäst med träpalissader och blockhus. Pontiacs krig Britterna övertog fortet 1761 men förlorade det tillfälligt till ojibwaerna, som i samband med Pontiacs krig 1763 genom en krigslist lyckades ta sig in i fortet och döda nästan hela besättningen. Nedläggning Efter att ha återtagit fortet bestämde sig britterna för att det inte uppfyllde militära krav på en tidsenlig fästning och byggde i stället ett fort av sten, Fort Mackinac, på en ö i Mackinacsundet. Efter att garnisonen flyttats dit 1781 förstördes Fort Michilimackinac.

Bond Falls

Bond Falls is a waterfall on the middle branch of the Ontonagon River, a few miles east of Paulding in Haight Township in southern Ontonagon County, Michigan. The site is near U.S. Highway 45 in the western portion of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The waterfalls are listed by the state of Michigan as the Bond Falls Scenic Site. The total drop of the falls is about 50 feet (15 m). Trails lead to and from the falls from a picnic area atop the falls. There is a newer walkway that extends across the river below the base of the falls that allows for perfect viewing. The river drops 875 feet (267 m) down from Bond Falls Flowage, which is perched on the highlands of the western Upper Peninsula, to Lake Superior. Bond Falls is the first stage of this drop in elevation. From Bond Falls, the river continues northward to the Agate Falls Scenic Site. A "flowage", in the language of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, is a reservoir. Bond Falls is not a natural waterfall, it has been changed by a nearby dam built by the Upper Peninsula Power Company (UPPCO). There is a rest-area park below the dam and waterfall, from which the falls can be admired. The Ontonagan River and Bond Falls Flowage are separately stocked with brook trout.

Laughing Whitefish Falls State Park

Laughing Whitefish Falls State Park is a public recreation area protecting 960 acres (390 ha) along the Laughing Whitefish River in Onota Township and Rock River Township, in far western Alger County, Michigan. Its main scenic feature is Laughing Whitefish Falls, a 100-foot fan-shaped cascade located in the southern part of the site, in Rock River Township, eight miles (13 km) south of Lake Superior and three miles north of M-94. Waterfall Laughing Whitefish Falls is formed by an abrupt limestone escarpment of the Laughing Whitefish River, which flows northward into Lake Superior. The escarpment is shaped so as to draw out the cascade into an unusual fan-shaped wall of water. The falls are located within the Escanaba River State Forest, three-quarters of a mile east of County Route 327 (North Sundell Road). It can be reached by a half-mile hike through beech-maple forest. Foot trails also connect the falls to the North Country Trail, which runs through the north end of the park. Activities and amenities The park offers picnicking, three observation decks, and 2.5 miles (4.0 km) of hiking trails.

Agate Falls Scenic Site

The Agate Falls Scenic Site is a waterfall and scenic site located in Interior Township, in southeastern Ontonagon County, Michigan. The waterfall is 7 miles (11 km) southeast of Bruce Crossing, Michigan on the state highway M-28. Agate Falls is a 39-foot-high (12 m) waterfall of the Middle Branch of the Ontonagon River. Dropping down from the highlands of the western Upper Peninsula, this river drops 875 feet (267 m) from the Bond Falls Flowage to Lake Superior, and Agate Falls is part of this change in elevation. The water flows over a shelf of erosion-resistant sandstone. The falls can be seen from a trail accessible from a parking lot on M-28 or from a sturdy railroad bridge which now is part of a snowmobile and atv trail. This bridge, which once carried the tracks of the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic Railway, spans the falls. A roadside picnic area offers simple recreational opportunities.

Chippewa de Sault Sainte Marie

Chippewa de Sault Sainte Marie és el nom que reben la major part de la fracció del poble anishinaabemowin que viu a l'estat de Michigan. Tradicionalment hi han viscut en condicions miserables fins que el 1972 una delegació seva visità Washington i aconseguiren reconeixement federal, de manera que compraren terres, el 1975 aprovaren una constitució pròpia (aleshores potser eren uns 29.000) i el 1984 formaren la reserva índia de Grand Traverse amb els ottawa, que fou reconeguda pel govern federal el 21 de setembre del 1994. Actualment, però, molts viuen fora de la reserva, en la zona septentrional de la península del llac Michigan, i molts treballen als sis casinos de Kewadin i Greektown, vora Detroit.

J. F. Eesley Milling Co. Flour Mill–Elevator

The J. F. Eesley Milling Co. Flour Mill–Elevator (later the Plainwell Elevator Company) was built as a flour mill located at 717 East Bridge Street in Plainwell, Michigan. The building has been renovated and houses a brewpub. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. History The building which houses the flour mill at this site was originally built in about 1869 at a site on the south side of Bridge Street, purportedly to house a roller rink. The elevator was built at this site in about 1870-73 by an original owner who has not been identified. In 1891, John F. Eesley (then the operator of the nearby D. B. Merrill flour mill) partnered with three other local entrepreneurs to establish the Sunshine Flour mill at the Bridge Street site. In 1903, Eesley moved the mill building from its original site to the current site, joining it to the elevator which was already at this location. He renovated both buildings to create a single structure. At its height, the mill produced 600 barrels of buckwheat flour per day, making it the second largest producer of buckwheat flour in the nation. Eesley operated the mill at this site until his death in 1929. Shortly after, the mill was taken over by the Plainwell Elevator Company. The Plainwell Elevator Company operated the building until at least the 1990s. The building has been renovated and houses a brewpub. Description The Eesley Mill and Elevator consists of two structures built separately and joined in 1903. The entire structure is a three-story building with a broad fronted and a massive timber frame. The mill section has a gable roof, the elevator part a gambrel roof. An addition that has a slightly sloping roofline connects the two portions of the structure. The exterior is covered with clapboard siding, and has double-hung, square-head, sash windows. A cinder block loading platform sheltered with an overhang runs the length of the building on one side. There is a single-story extension at the back of the elevator building. References
Marantette Bridge

The Marantette Bridge, also known as the Railroad Street Bridge, is a historic vehicle bridge, now closed to traffic, located at Railroad Street over the St. Joseph River in Mendon, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. History One of the first settlers in Mendon was the Indian trader Patrick Marantette, who arrived in 1833 to manage a trading post located at the site of the Marantette House near this bridge on the south side of the river. The first local bridge over the St. Joseph River was constructed in 1839 about two-thirds of a mile upstream from the Marantette Bridge. In the late 1850s, the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad first proposed a line through Mendon, and in anticipation, Patrick Marantette platted the portion of his land north of the river, including the current Railroad Street. There was apparently no bridge serving Railroad Street until 1873. The 1873 bridge was replaced in 1876. The current bridge was probably built in about 1900. The bridge was constructed by the Massillon Bridge Company located in Massillon, Ohio. The bridge served vehicular traffic until 1984, when it was closed. Description The Marantette Bridge is a single span, eight panel steel Pratt through truss bridge with pinned connections. It measures 141 feet in length and 16 feet in width, and is supported with rubble fieldstone abutments. The bridge has a wooden plank deck, now severely deteriorated, set atop steel stringers and supported by transverse girders. The upper structure is constructed of channels connected by cover plates.
